BALTIMORE, September and. Early this morning a fire broke out in the tey warehouse of Pricer, Helgenberg & Co., 197 South Sharp street. Before the firemen could get to work an explosion of fireworks wrecked the building and caused the flames to spread to the drug house of J. H. Winkleman & Co., on the north, and the hat house of M. S. Levy & Co, on the south. Scarcely had the firemen entered the edifice occupied by the drug house when the inside of the building seemed to suddenly drop in. A terrible explosion followed and the immense building collapsed. The entire Fire Department had by this time reached the scene, and as the attention of the men was concentrated on the building under which their comrades were buried, the flames had a chance to spread with frightful rapidity. In a short time the entire block running from Lombard to to Pratt streets was a seething mass of flame.
At the drug house the firemen worked bravely. Holes were cut through the pavement, and evely effort was made to reach the imprisoned men, but they were buried under a great mass of brick and iron, and fierce flames were roaring around the spot. Awful grains came from the pile, which seemed to make the working firemen put forth superhuman efforts.
